Have you ever thought to yourself, “You know what I could really go for right now? A hamburger made like a meatloaf drowned in gravy.” If you have then you’ve come to the right place! If you haven’t, maybe you’re thinking about it now… Others of you may recognize Salisbury steak from such places as … Continue reading →

New Rivers is one of those restaurants I often heard about, but for some reason or another, never visited. Perhaps it’s because I imagined it was a fine dining establishment requiring a special occasion to go rather than just somewhere to stop by on whim. While New Rivers is a fine dining establishment, after eating … Continue reading →

This recipe is my very successful attempt at recreating a dish I had at Habibi’s Middle Eastern Kitchen. I’ve eaten soujouk and ma’anak (Middle Eastern sausages), for years, but the preparation was almost always a very simple pan sear. They’re pretty good that way, but it’s really just heating them up, so the only real … Continue reading →

Greek food and Rhode Island have had a rocky history in that other than the annual Greek festivals and fantastic home cooking from the Greek communty, the state is almost devoid of excellent Greek food. That is, until Kleos showed up on the scene. The owners of Kleos also own Rosalina, which has its own … Continue reading →

Jahunger was one of those restaurants that seemed to come out of nowhere and took the Fox Point area of Providence by storm. As soon as it opened the positive reviews came pouring in. The descriptions indicated that Jahunger served mainly Chinese noodles, but as it turns out, the cuisine label doesn’t really do the … Continue reading →

I had the incredible opportunity of not only trying a brand of hot sauce I’d never tried before, but also attending The Offspring (and Sublime) concert in Boston, MA where I got to go backstage to meet the lead singer and creator of the Gringo Bandito hot sauce line, Dexter Holland. Despite knowing The Offspring … Continue reading →

As part of a CSA I tried out provided by Brookwood Community Farm, I received a pint of husk cherries (ground cherries), which I’d never even heard of before, a couple of pints of cherry tomatoes, and some shallots. Other than an overall enjoyable experience with the fresh produce of the CSA, I loved getting … Continue reading →

Brookwood Community Farm in Canton, MA established itself in 2006 by continuing to grow produce on land farmed for generations by others. It’s a somewhat small yet community focused farm that “strives to restore underutilized farmland for agricultural purposes, while maintaining and cultivating the ecological richness and diversity of the land.” Brookwood Community Farm 11 … Continue reading →

For years, Nick’s had a reputation in Rhode Island as one of the best restaurant spots to get a fantastic breakfast. That’s still true, but eventually Nick’s opened their doors to patrons seeking dinner and provided a completely different, yet still stellar, dining experience. I’d enjoyed a few Nick’s On Broadway breakfasts in my time, … Continue reading →

Here’s how I knew Dumpling House was good the first time I ate there: A friend of mine and I had just gone to whiskey tasting and were feeling the effects just a touch. We decided to do something we don’t normally do and that was to have dinner at two different restaurants. The first … Continue reading →

I’m fascinated with the idea of being able to make any food at home. For example, in a post-apocalyptic world that still has electricity, but where bacon is illegal, would I be able to make it myself from scratch? Now I know that the answer is probably, “yes!” Before discovering that I could make bacon, … Continue reading →

A representative from Kamikoto reached out to me with an offer to try their knives in exchange for an honest blog review. I did some quick research and jumped at the opportunity to try out the Kanpeki Knife Set made from Japanese steel. The set comes with three knives. The first is a long slicing knife … Continue reading →

I used to think that I preferred Kansas City style barbecue sauces (those thicker, sweeter sauces found in most grocery stores) over thinner sauces like those found in Eastern North Carolina and surrounding areas. As it turns out, I often don’t prefer a lot of sauce on my barbecue at all and consider the condiment … Continue reading →

Okra is an acquired taste and I acquired my taste for it growing up. Usually, I had it in the form of stews, soups or on the stove top simmered with tomato sauce. Since I was a kid I’ve had it in various other preparations such as pickled or fried in the Southern U.S. like … Continue reading →

Date nights are precious and tend to become more infrequent the older people get, which coincides with taking on more responsibilities. As a result, it’s especially important to make those times count whether it’s a date night or just some free time out with friends. That’s why it hurts so much when that time is … Continue reading →

The search for great barbecue in Southern New England is not a futile effort, but it is most certainly an effort. There is, of course, plenty of edible barbecue, but really great barbecue, like the kind you might find in the Southern U.S., is hard to come by. There are a few havens I’ve come … Continue reading →

Fried chicken is one of the simple pleasures of life made immortal by almost every culture with access to chicken. They all do it a little different, but they’re almost always delicious. The biggest differences usually involve the style of breading, seasonings, and occasionally the frying method. Simple is usually best, but when going for maximum crispiness … Continue reading →

I love Greek food. I have history with Greek food as well as personal experience making it from scratch. My wife is Greek. My son is half Greek. Greek food is close to home and a point of pride for my family. It truly is simple food, but that recognition in the name of the restaurant … Continue reading →

While this recipe is for a drink one might imbibe during the Kentucky Derby, it is also confusingly called a “Derby” cocktail. The term “Derby Cocktail” makes people think of many alcoholic drinks that are found at the Kentucky Derby like the more famous Mint Julep. In this case, the Derby is a specific cocktail that … Continue reading →
